Workshop

Wedding cakes have had a little ‘topper’ decoration for generations. These have often been popular on birthday cakes too. But more recently the cakes have had their decorations as part of the cake itself; the decoration was edible. This completely edible style cake is an impressive feat, though a topper that acts as a keepsake also has a certain appeal.

Using the topper as a keepsake predates photos. Today we have multiple photos of the wedding, and many images of the cake, to remember the wedding by, so we don’t need the topper.

Yet a cake topper decoration can still be incorporated into a cake, wedding or otherwise.

Some poplar ideas:

A little bride and groom – a classic idea that never goes out of style.

The bride and groom as children.

Cartoon characters

Cute Animals –Penguins, butterflies …etc.

The married couple as animals that suit their personality.

Married couples (new) name.

Horse Drawn Wedding Coaches.

Light hearted and comical ideas are Okay, but you don’t want to be embarrassed by them when you look back in ten year’s time.

Wooden toppers, handcrafted and DIY.

Silhouette metal images of the happy couple. These can be laser cut from a single piece of metal. Black and gold silhouettes work well, especially if lit from behind.
